The trial of a former soldier accused of murdering a dog walker in Norfolk woodlands has been delayed by a week and moved to a court 120 miles away.
The body of dog walker Peter Wrighton, a married father and grandfather from Banham, was discovered near East Harling on Saturday, August 5.
A post-mortem examination revealed he died from multiple stab wounds to the neck and head.
Alexander Palmer, 23, of Freesia Way, Cringleford, who served with the British Army between 2010 and 2015, was charged with murder but pleaded not guilty in December last year.
He was due to stand trial at Norwich Crown Court in the week beginning February 12.
But following a hearing at the Old Bailey in London, the case has been moved to Nottingham Crown Court in the week begining February 19.
The trial is scheduled to last for two to three weeks.
Mr Wrighton, a former BT worker, was described as a 'lovely, gentle husband, dad and grandfather' who loved walking his dogs, Gemma and Dylan.
